ACman 7,655 #1 Posted October 25, 2015 My son brought home the new horse today, It's areal beauty everything is powder coated but the hood . Can't wait till the snow comes and see what this little horse can do . For a extra $100 he through in two hoods,59 trans,58 trans parts minus cast center,seat,steering wheel, rims tires,and a bunch of small parts . They'll come in handy for my other RJ. I would like to thank Chris for passing it on after 40 years of ownership . I know it was hard to let it go, but I promise to take good care for her. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Different than a 58 trans?I really want those wheel weights!I just don't know exactly what it is, but that is just way cool!Isn't it? The one thingy is a counterweight of a simplicity . He said when he was a kid he had his friends set on the hood to keep the front tires on the ground . The other thingy is the mount for the snowplow , just remove two pins and it comes right off. He showed me the left side cover pointed at the brake assembly said it was different ( I ? him too ). Yeah I like those weights too . Even the wife thought it was cool ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACman 7,655 #12 Posted October 26, 2015 Got to give credit to @koz for restoration . He's fellow member and former owner of this tractor . I found him in members list, and some of you helped him out identify that front weight back in 2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
